Application Procedure

Academic Records: Official secondary school and post-secondary records must be submitted in original
language along with certified translation. Farmingdale requires that documents are
translated and evaluated by a member of NACES (http://www.naces.org/). WES (http://www.wes.org) is a preferred evaluation agency.

English Language Proficiency: Applicants whose native language is not English must submit an official score report
from one of the following tests to demonstrate English language proficiency or submit
an official transcript from an accredited U.S. college with a grade of C+ or better
in a college-level writing course.

Passport: Photocopy of the passport page that includes your identification photo (U.S. Visa
page and home country’s page).

Indicate on the application your curriculum choice exactly as listed to avoid a delay
in processing, which could jeopardize your opportunity for admission. You may apply
to only ONE program. The academic year at Farmingdale State College begins in August
and ends in May. All programs accept new students for the fall semester.

Dental Hygiene and Nursing applicants must be U. S. Citizens or Permanent Residents
in order to be considered for admission with the exception of the RN to BS completion
program. Visit the Nursing site for more information.

Decisions on applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore,
it is to your benefit to mail all materials immediately upon completion, since programs
fill up quickly. To ensure adequate time for the processing of International Student
applications, please note the Admissions Office must receive the completed applications
by June 1 for FALL admissions and November 1 for SPRING admissions.

Once you’re accepted...

Students must meet financial requirements established by the College. Below is a
list of Financial Documents required before issuance of an I-20.

Financial Documents: In order to ensure timely processing of your application, please read the financial
requirements carefully. Financial aid and scholarships are not available to international
students and proof of funding is a requirement for I-20 issuance. Currently $33,000
is required for each year of study (Tuition and Fees). Students who will not be residing on campus and have local sponsors can estimate
a yearly cost of $22,000 (Please note that for students enrolled in the Aeronautical
Science: Professional Pilot program there are additional flight fees estimated at
$9,000/semester).

This form must be completed by the student who is applying to Farmingdale State College
and signed by the financial sponsor (if applicable) and bank official. Attach statement
of accounts on official bank letterhead or with official signature/seal. Attach multiple
bank statements if more than one financial institute is verifying funding. If the
student has more than one sponsor, a form must be completed by each sponsor providing
financial support.

If funds are being provided by a family member/sponsor, each sponsor must complete
an affidavit of support. For students who will not be residing on campus, a local
sponsor must also complete an Affidavit of Support answering questions 7 & 8 and provide
copy of driver’s license, bank statement, or utility bill verifying address. This
form must be notarized.

Bank Letter or Statement:

A bank letter or statement must be provided for each sponsor. Bank letters and statements
must be in English and must be current within 6 months of initial enrollment. The
bank letters and statements must show the actual amount in the account and the U.S.
dollars equivalency.

Letter of employment or pay stub must be provided by each financial sponsor confirming
financial resources will be available to fund each year of attendance.
